City of Wine and Towers


	"City of Wine and Towers" Do you know this place? It is Oberwesel "The City of Wine and Towers". Located along the Rhine River in major wine growing region this town has over 13 towers and the famed Schonburgs had a castle over looking this Rhine town and tolls to navigate the river made them rich. It was very dark as the clouds show, so I had to run my ISO up to 12,800 with F/13 in AV mode and 55mm focal length handheld in moving boat to get this composition. Emile Abbott

Great reading the background info. I have learned to use the ISO more from reading your details. Great image. Nice detail and colors and well as a point of interest.
